Peterbilt Truck Parts and Equipment
EST. 1939
Originally forming in 1939, Peterbilt Truck Parts and Equipment came to Sparks in 1943.
The organization creates and sells purpose-built vehicles for the trucking industry. In
2007, the local franchise dealership was purchased by John Phillips. John had
previously acquired Silver State International, a truck and bus dealership in 1987.
Together, the companies have created a one-stop-shop of sorts for trucking needs. With
a long history, Peterbilt has a rich legacy in northern Nevada and John works to carry on
that legacy through community giving and exceptional service. He credits the success
of the business to the support of the people around him, from his employees to the
community itself. John has also made adaptability part of the company culture so the
business, and the employees it supports, are able to face whatever challenges come
their way
